How should I use my points?
How should I spend my points?
I would like some input for a family vacation of four people traveling in economy.
We will travel from BRO --> HAN --> UIH --> ICN/GMP --> BRO.
We have four United accounts with 110k, 65k, 58k, and 54k in miles.
I have 190k in Chase ultimate rewards I can transfer, 100k in Delta miles, and 60k on American.
I am currently planning on transferring my chase points to United to make 300k and book four round trip tickets BRO --> HAN, ICN --> BRO,
Next, using Delta miles for a round trip HAN --> UIH, UIH --> HAN.
Finally, using the united miles in the other accounts to fly from HAN --> ICN/GMP.
What are your thoughts and recommendations?

Check availability & routes/airlines

4 award seats on 1 flight is hard to get. Can be very hard
With in Asia probably better to pay cash. Short economy award flights tend to be poor value. For 4 people you do not have many ff miles

One thing I've occasionally seen is that there will be just 2 or 3 mileage tickets available. BUT ... if you book them, in the next day or so there will again be a new 2 or 3 available.
If you are OK with a Plan B of cash purchase for the additional 2 or 1 tickets, you could book what is available and then keep checking to see if the airline makes some more available in a day or so. If not, you could go to Plan B.
Plan C would be to book the remaining necessary tickets on a different flight.
